Steps Uninstalling Bentley MX from the Machine:

Uninstall Bentley MX V8i 08.11.xx.xx from Add/Remove Programs
Uninstall Bentley MX V8 XM Edition from Add/Remove Programs
Uninstall Bentley MX CAD Engine from Add/Remove Programs
Delete any remaining files/folders and registry entries as outlined below:

Check these areas after uninstall of MX XM and MX Cad engine from Add/Remove programs when no other Bentley applications are installed. Most will already be deleted but some are left behind by design:

C:\Program Files\Bentley\MX or similar

C:\Program Files\Bentley\MX CAD Engine or similar

C:\Windows\Moss folder

C:\Windows\moss* files

C:\Windows\mfm* files

C:\Windows\mfa* files

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Bentley Shared

C:\Program Files\Bentley\Program\Licensing

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bentley

C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Bentley

C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Local Settings\Application Data\Bentley

In the registry:

HKLM\Software\Infrasoft

HKLM\Software\Bentley (Ensure you retain any licence activation details from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bentley\Licensing\1.1 if required).

HKLM\Sofware\Bentley Systems, Incorporated

HKCU\Software\Infrasoft

HKCU\Software\Bentley

HKCU\Sosftware\MOSS for Windows

If these exist they can all be deleted before installing MX V8i.

Install latest Bentley MX V8i (08.11.xx.xx)
